Gibson Escapes from Honolulu

PORT TOWNSEND, w. T., August c.
Additional advices by the bark Colusa
from Honolulu July 18th says that eN-
PRIMER Gibson escaped July l3 on the
bark John G. Spreckles.
On that date he was acquitted Of hav-
ing defrauded the government. The
bark Spreckles was lying near the wharf,
with everything ready to set sail. A
carriage which was waiting at the rear
door OF the court room conveyed Gibson,
without moments delay, to the vessel,
which cast Off her lines and headed for
San Francisco. 1t required less than
twenty minutes for Gibson to leave the
court room and get on board the Spreck-
les. Hazettlne, Gibson's son-in-law, is
still in Jail awaiting trial for being an
accessory of Gibson.
Business mas been resumed. Capital
lists who were holding back are invest
ing money, and the general feeling pre-
walls that Hawaii now has a stable gov
ernment, under which just laws will be
enacted.
SAN FRANCISCO, August Civilian
N. Gibson, the deposed prime minister
of the Hawaiian kingdom, who was tried
on charges of robbing the public treas
ury and who escaped from the islands
after his acquittal, arrived here from
Honolulu on the brig John D. Spreckles
this morning.

The Farmers Encampment at
SpartaDburg last week is reported as
very successful meeting for the first
gathering Of farmers. There was
good attendance, and no doubt more
would have attended had the weather
been more favorable; and practical
questions pertaining to the interests
Of the farmer were discussed, and we
have little doubt that all who at
tended were greatly benefited.
The exhibits we are told were not
very extensive, but this could not be
expected at the first attempt in this
direction. The farmers should take
an interest in this sort of thing for
in q gathering of practical farmers
each one cannot help but be more or
less benefited by an interchange of
ideas, experiences and results.
We are glad to note that several
farmers from Newberry County at
tended and We are sure more would
have attended had the weather been
more favorable.

Greeny''le and the Three C'S.
,.Special to the Nescs and Courier.

COLUMBIA, August 3.-A representa-
tive of Greenviile city and county came
to Columbia yesterday for the purpose
of having conference with Col. Z. A.
Johnson, general manager of the Three
C's, to ascertain whether the Charleston,
Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad Com
pany would consider certain PROPOSE
tions which Greenville desired to make.
The general manager listened to the
propositions but would not commit him
self.
Itis understood that Greenville desires
a connection with the Three C's. To OBJ
tain this it is proposed by some OF the
leading men Of Greenville that the Au-
gusta division of the Three C's shall run
from Augusta to Newberry, from New
berry to Greenyille and from Green
vile to Rutherfordton, \. c., where it
will connect with the main line. This
route would, of course, leave out Union
and the section OF country between
Union and Gaffney City. 1t is said that
the manufacturing Industries of Green
Vile wish coal from the region through
which the Three C's will pass, and that
Greenville considers the Three C's con-
nection of more Importance than any
other connection she can make. Green
vile County, it is said, is willing to sub
scribe s30O,000 towards this road. If
this road should be directed in the man
ner described above it would doubtless
be great thing for Greenville. Union
would of course be sorely disappointed
if she lost this valuable connection.

\ DISGEACEFUL SCENE.
A Free Exhibition by White Man and
His NIulatto Bride.
duG,tstG Gazette.

A most disgraceful and rcpulSive
drama was enacted yesterday III the
broad daylight, and on Broad street, be-
fore the eyes OF the world. 1t was Just
- o'clock when a one horse farmers
wagon drove up and stopped on Broad
street between Jackson and Campbell.
In the wagon was white man ofabout
twenty-five and 4 mulatto girl seemingly
of about eighteen. For fifteen minutes
the scene was one to make all the blood
boil in a mans veins. The woman threw
her arms around the neck of her COM
panion and showercd kiss after kiss
upon his sunburnt cheeks. She gave
hug after hug, and all the while her
''Soft eyes look'd love to eyes which
spoke love again;
And all we.t merry as marriage bell. ="
He returned her caresSes with touch
as soft rs any woman's and smiled con-
tinuously. Meanwhile a crowd Of per-
haps seventy-five spectators had gath
cred around, but the couple w"re igno-
rant of the fact. Ba$king in the heaven
OF each others smiles they reveled in
oblivion. But this could not last al
wavs, and the du$ky maiden'S "ducky
dove" descended and went a-shopping.
A reporter seized his opportunity and
went for the wagon. They were from
Warren county, he learned, and had
been married five months. A negro
preacher by the name Of Davis had mar
ried them. The bride remarked that
she loved her husband 'SmiShty hard.'

THE RICE CROP DESTROYED.
Sudden Rise in the Savannah-Dam-
age Estimated at 100000.
Speciul TO tile NearS and Courier.

SAVANNAH, August s.-This after
noon the rise in the Savannah was rapid
and disastrous. The plantations OF rice,
which gave magnificent prospects up to
to-day, now promise TO be entirely
ruined, as far as this years .op is con-
cerned. Nearly 5000 acres will be
flooded. cn+1iling loss Of over $780,
600 to the crops alone.
The Ogechee plantations will proba-
bly, escape uniniured, so will the Satilla
rice fields, but the Altamaha planta-
tions that are not we'll banked will be
heavily damaged. The Savannah River
planters expect a total loss, except
Rutledge, and Mills, and Taylor, and
perhaps Thomas Screven. No lives are
reported lost.
The Charleston bridge was Just a foot
out Of water at O'Clock this afternoon.
Verenzebee freshet bank is broken
brdly and the rice is fast being drowned
with water. The plantations OF Gnrard,
Hayward, Taylor, Clay, Huger, King,
lizard, Manigault, Lewis Haskell, W.
Barnwell, John Screven, the estates OF
Gibbons and Potter, and Van Winkler
will, it is feared, lose their entire years

THE CROOKEDNESS AT WALL
HALLA.
The Prisoners Charged with Libel Re-
leased on Bal.

WALHALLA, August 1.-Two days
ago G.. W. Sadler and J. r. Hunter were
brought from Greenville Jail, where they
have been held for some time for safe
keeping, and appeared in Trial Justice
Robt. Jayne's court, with their attorney,
Geo. Johnstone, from Newberry, who
applied for bail in the libel case. Not
withstanding the great enormity OF their
crime and the terrible Indignation it was
known such an action would excite, the
court granted them bail.
As vas expected, the citizens Of the
town and county for many miles around
convened in West Union to-day, and
held an indignation meeting, with Colo
mel r. A. Thompson, of the Walhalla
bar, as chairman, and Prof. E. R. Doyle,
of Westminster, rs secretary. The
meeting, after a few brief remarks,
passed resolution to the effect that G..
w. Sadler, J. r. Hunter, A. Morgan
and J. Walter Hodge were men danger
Gus to the peace, safety and good order
of society, and that the said named par
ties should be notified to leave the State
of South Carolina Immediately. never to
return.
Sadler and Hunter went direct from
the Court room Yesterday to Seneca
CITY. Morgan took the first train this
morning, but Mr.. Hodge, it is thought,
is intending to try what virtue there is
in resolutions passed i'll citizens meet
ing.

This land, too, for which so much is
demanded is now growing up In
weeds, and we suppose, is owned, BY
private Individuals.
We wonder if these parties IN
search of this site went above Ger
vais street bridge to view the avail
able sites there. In fact We believe
the canal is only finished as far as
Gervais street bridge.
1t seems strange to US that Colum-
bia, after being so anxious for the
completion of the canal, and arguing
the great advantages to accrue to the
State from q utilization of the water
power to be afforded by the canal,
should determine it was cheaper to
build their cotton mill on 8 site other
than on the banks of this canal. II
real estate is booming in this way
along the banks of this stream so as
to make it impracticable to build
factories on it, what benefit can it
ever be to the State? Or has the
State any sites of its own upon which
to erect factories so as to utilize this
vast water power? These are mat.
ters that should be considered by
our Legislators before any more
money is spent on the canal. What
does it mean anyhow? The factory
or cotton mill is to be built but not
to be run by water power from the
canal. We cannot understand the
use of the canal to the State if other
power is cheaper in Columbis for
running factories and cotton mills.

Dr. Pope's Withdrawal .to.l Politics.
Lancaster Reriear.

We learn from the Newberry papers
that DR.. Sampson Pope, member OF
the Legislature from that county, will
"go out of politics" when his present
term expires, in order to devote his
whole time to the practice of his profess
sion. Dr.. Pope's Withdrawal from the
legislative halls will prove no inconsid-
erable loss to the State. Fearless and
strong in advocacy of all measures which
have for their object the promotion OF
the best interests Of the Commonwealth
and equally as ready and bold in oppos-
ing and denouncing every bill or scheme
looking to raid on the treasury or an
increase of taxation, he is the recog-
nized leader of the economists OF the
House, and ranks second to none as an
"all-round' legislator.
Nothing ever escapes DR.. Pope's
watchful eye, whether OF local CO con- nfiden
raj Importance. Having horS S"o onG haing
OF MS pto.iealan and at times an impre
c!eaEe c!eaHE|e speaker, the doctor never fails
have at least strong following whe
u ever he takes stand upon any publ
: question, whether he succeeds in carr
o ing his point or not.
